About the Artwork

Les juifs prirent des pierres pour lapider Jésus
1886-1896
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper

Jesus' conversations with members of his community escalate and become violent: when he claims to know Abraham, the Old Testament patriarch, devout Jews are skeptical, given his youth. Alluding to his own transcendence as the Son of God, he replies: "Before Abraham was, I am." At this response, the people attack Jesus with stones, gathering together as an angry mob.

Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.

How It Is Made

Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
